Boring weekend

It was a quite Saturday . Took the family out to a visit to the Zoo. Was bliss for the restless angst that I have been going through.

I have always wondered how animals of all kinds are maintained in such hostile weather conditions in a place like Detroit.. whereas our India based zoos struggle for maintenance. Is it because they are more savvy in their funding practices. Every American city worth its name has a zoo and they call it a conservation effort.

There are some interesting pointers out here for how such public entities can be run profitably... anyone interested or have thoughts??
